DISCUSSION

Maps prepared by United States Geological Survey (USGS) incollaboration with the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA)-funded Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) andthe American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The basis isexplained in commentaries prepared by BSSC and ASCE and inthe references. Ground motion values contoured on these maps incorporate: • a target risk of structural collapse equal to 1% in 50 years based upon a generic structural fragility • a factor of 1.1 to adjust from a geometric mean to the maximum response regardless of direction • deterministic upper limits imposed near large, active faults, which are taken as 1.8 times the estimated median response to the characteristic earthquake for the fault (1.8 is used to represent the 84th percentile response), but not less than 150% g. As such, the values are different from those on the uniform-hazard 2008 USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps posted at:http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazmaps. Larger, more detailed versions of these maps are not providedbecause it is recommended that the corresponding USGS webtool (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/designmaps orhttp://content.seinstitute.org) be used to determine the mappedvalue for a specified location.

Past Seismic Design Approaches

• Past and most present design approaches for seismic safety are prescriptive, based on following rules rather than explicitly quantifying performance/risk.

e.g., “If at least seven ground motions [(time series)] are analyzed, the design member forces … are permitted to be taken … as the average of the … values determined from the [building response] analyses …” – ASCE 7 Standard

• For earthquake loads/demands, past (and most present) approaches typically design against …

Past Seismic Design Approaches

Although seismic safety was implied by these past design approaches, …

… the seismic risk for the resulting structures …

(e.g., annual probability of seismically-induced failure)

… was not explicitly quantified in the design process, or in the development of the design process by regulators.

Probabilistic Seismic Fragility Curves

Notes:

Fragility curve depends on the ground motion intensity for which the structure was designed (“Design IM”).

It also depends on the prescriptive requirements that are used to design the structure (e.g., those for buildings vs. nuclear power plants).

EERI Seminar on Next Generation Attenuation Models

Summary

• Previous uniform-hazard (2%-in-50yr) probabilistic ground motions …

– Resulted in spatially-variable collapse risk, due to variations in hazard curve shapes

– Considered only a single selected point (2%-in-50yr) on hazard curves

– Were similar in value in Memphis Metro Area and San Francisco Bay Area

• New risk-targeted probabilistic ground motions address these issues

Summary (continued)• New risk-targeted probabilistic ground motions

(RTGMs) …

– Explicitly & uniformly target 1% probability of collapse in a building’s lifetime, ~50 years

– Consider all points on & spatial variations in shapes of hazard curves

– Require a generic fragility that depends on RTGM & effectively considers shapes of hazard curves

– Changes uniform-hazard (2%-in-50yr) ground motions by factor of 0.85-1.15 generally, but as low as 0.70 near New Madrid and Charleston

Implications

• Tolerable seismic risk has now been specified quantitatively (vs. qualitative “safe”), which in turn impacts, e.g., …

– evaluation and retrofit of existing structures,

– design for other hazards (e.g., wind, rock falls), and

– prescriptive design procedures (e.g., selection and modification of ground motion time series for structural response simulations).

• Risk-based approaches might eventually allay the need for prescriptive design procedures altogether.

Outstanding Issues

• Acceptable/tolerable risk level?

– once in terms of deaths/dollars/downtime, might be borrowed from other hazards?

– for individual structures and aggregation/region?

– must it be geographically uniform?

• Validation of risk modeling/quantification (vs. reality)

– hazard and fragility components/curves

– data very scarce at large ground motion intensities
